WhatsApp beta gets a feature to create video calls up to 32 people

As you can see in this screenshot, some beta testers may be prompted with a message that invites them to try calling their groups. Specifically, the message mentions the ability to video call contacts and groups, up to 32 people, right from the Windows app. Previously, the ability to place audio calls with up to 32 people was available, as stated by Mark Zuckerberg on his Meta broadcast channel. However, with the latest update, it appears that some users can now also explore video calls with up to 32 people.

Note that some people may be prompted with a different message by mentioning 16 people support for video calling along with the ability to share the content of their screens during a video call, previously announced with the WhatsApp beta for Windows 2.2322.1.0 update. In addition, some beta testers may finally be able to see video messages after installing the latest update of the app.

After making the previous WhatsApp Desktop app obsolete (the one built with the Electron framework), introducing the ability to participate in video calls with up to 32 people seems like a great decision. In the coming weeks, WhatsApp will be adding new features that were already available in the previous desktop application or were designed to be released in the future.

The ability to place video calls with up to 32 people is available to some beta testers that install the latest WhatsApp beta for Windows update released on the Microsoft Store. If you don’t see this update on the Microsoft Store, please note that it will be rolled out to more users over the coming days.
